Thanks! The paint is original for the most part, I just had some body work done- a neighbor of mine backed into the driver side doors. So those were replaced and finished. While the car was at the shop I had the pin-stripes replaced, wheels repainted, seats re-sprung, weather stipping replaced, dent pro'd all the dings out, etc etc etc... the list goes on.

But yes, aside from the ds doors, the paint is original. Its been a CA car garaged all its life, which has really preserved the finish of the paint.

She gets washed and detailed once a week, and waxed at least once a month. I have been using Meguiars NXT line products since they were introduced and havent looked back. I am getting some more photos together of the car and will be posting a thread in the diesel forum soon, so keep an eye out for more pics and info on the restoration!

My car's PO had it repainted around 1999 by Maaco and decided not to
spend money on much prep work. It looks decent from six feet away but
has orange peel, chipping and bad overspray on the roof near the drainage
channels.

I'd like to get it repainted, de-dinged, etc. I was going to have my wheels
powder coated but think I'm going to go with replica 8-hole rims instead. I
like the look and think they'll be easier to clean than the 15-hole rims.

I'm putting a new stereo in next week and Euro headlights and new OEM
floormats are on the way. Little by little...
